Mick Foley Reveals Which Current WWE Stars Are His Favorites

– Mick Foley discussed his favorite crop of the current WWE roster during the fan Q&A that was posted to the WWE Network this week. You can see the video below, in which Foley calls out NXT stars Tommaso Ciampa and Johnny Gargano as well as Kevin Owens, Ember Moon, Ronda Rousey, and Alexa Bliss, with a shoutout to Chris Jericho as well.

“I’ve been a fan of Tommaso Ciampa for a long time, I have. I love what he and Johnny Gargano are doing,” Foley said. “I love the fact that Ember Moon, you know, creating eyeballs right away. Just yesterday I was watching a replay — I think Ronda Rousey’s doing a tremendous job, I really do. She’s coming around really quickly. And part of what helps any good babyface or good guy or woman along the way is a great heel, and I think Alexa Bliss has developed into a great heel.”

He continued, “I still…I admire Kevin Owens’ guts for going places as a heel that other heels won’t go. When he was on top of the cell with Shane McMahon, like…the crisis of confidence he had, when he was about to go but he didn’t want to, and he knows that, some guys are so concerned with being the cool heel, they’re not willing to show fear. Kevin will do whatever it takes and he will turn any promo given to him into a work of art. Although Jericho is not an up & comer by any ways, I really admire the way he’s constantly evolving. I tell younger up & coming wrestlers to watch Chris Jericho because he never relies on one thing too long. And I’m proud to say I was the first person to be put on The List.”
